Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler
3.0
3.5
Okay, back with less of a headache for some more comprehensive thoughts, but I really enjoyed this book and, obviously, Butler's theories and ideas in here have shaped the entire thought landscape of gender studies. I think it's easy to see why, but it's been great to read this as already familiar with its key concepts (rather than go in blindly, because you can easily get lost in the wording) and it has some incredible insight into the issue of social constructiveness of gender, sex, body and the performance that unites all three.
